Ten thousand winters are followed by ten thousand springs, and a separation is followed by a meeting.
"So, we'll see you again."
The girl tilted her head and said with a smile. Natsume had forgotten the specific time of that separation. He only remembered that the girl in front of him was smiling, and the sunlight behind him vaguely reflected in his eyes, blurring the girl's figure.
"Goodbye."
The little Natsume also imitated the girl and said with a smile.
The spring sunshine is still warm, seeming to dissipate the sadness of separation. The heat brought by the wind dries Natsume's unshed tears, leaving only the astringency that cannot be dried quietly spreading in her heart.
He was looking forward to it and murmured in his heart: "See you next time."
But next time, how long will it take?
Little Natsume didn't know, so he handed over the problem to himself in the next year, but Natsume in the next year didn't know either. He only knew that the cherry blossoms bloomed again and again, and the snow covered his shoulders again and again, but the girl who said "see you next time" never appeared again.
Have you abandoned yourself? Like the relatives before?
Natsume's heart suddenly became cold. The white breath from his mouth blurred his vision, and the answer to the question was also blurred. So Natsume kept the promise in his heart and suppressed that spring day in his heart.
Until I don't know which spring came, the petals fell on the head of the boy who was chased by the monster. Along with the petals, there was a familiar and strange girl.
Natsume thought——
Spring is here.
